The Web’s richest nerds and the industrialized world’s greatest bureaucrats gathered Tuesday and Wednesday in Paris this week to decide what to do with our Internet. How kind of them! While no particular law will be enacted as a result of the meeting, broad recommendations will supposedly ensue (though they were never actually discussed in the forum).

We’ve got ourselves a newsletter! And with it, we have some space to sell. Those brass tacks deserve just as much attention as the stories we're weaving.
